Working in close cooperation with partners in Vietnam, BASF sources the ingredients, which are extracted from the rambutan tree <em>(Nephelium lappaceum),<\/em> from the first organically certified rambutan gardens in Vietnam. With its program, BASF creates a positive impact on Vietnamese rural society by upcycling different parts of the tree, other than the fruit, and at the same time offering incomes above the average, ensuring gender equity while guaranteeing safer working conditions and providing health insurance. It also helps manufacturers of hair and skin care products to respond to the growing trend of responsible beauty.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An interdisciplinary innovation platform at BASF focuses exclusively on the extraction of valuable substances from plant material. \u201cPlants are at the heart of our value proposition, and our commitment to further improve our sourcing network is driving our innovation to develop new products from sustainably sourced plants,\u201d explained Lucilene Veira Nunes, Head of Business Management Beauty Care Solutions Europe. \u201cFor the Rambutan Program, we were able to capitalize on the experience we gained in our Argan Program in Southern Morocco, which was started in 2005.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>The Rambutan Sustainable Program for responsible beauty<\/h3>\n<p>In 2015, BASF set up the Rambutan Program, which involves a network of local farmers and a dedicated Rambutan team. The team maintains the gardens throughout the year, harvests the fruit, and prepares all raw materials for the extraction of the bioactive ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>In Asia, rambutan \u2013 a close relative of lychee tree \u2013 is known for its many powers. The tree\u2019s juicy fruits are rich in iron, vitamin C, fibers, and antioxidants, and have long been used to quell dysentery. The rinds contain various compounds with antioxidant properties, and the seeds are known to decrease unwanted fat. The pulp boosts energy and immunity, prevents diseases, and contributes to eliminate free radicals. BASF has found a way to extract the powers of the peel, leaves and seeds for cosmetic products, making sure no part goes to waste.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_62244\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-62244\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.basf.com\/global\/press-photos\/en\/photos\/2019\/04\/Nephydrat.jpg.assetdownload.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-62244 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Nephydrat.jpg.dynamic.414w.2843870bbe80e282aa5e84e4138f55b09f82aad5-300x168.jpeg\" alt=\"Nephydrat.jpg.dynamic.414w.2843870bbe80e282aa5e84e4138f55b09f82aad5\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/media\/2019\/04\/Nephydrat.jpg.dynamic.414w.2843870bbe80e282aa5e84e4138f55b09f82aad5-300x168.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/media\/2019\/04\/Nephydrat.jpg.dynamic.414w.2843870bbe80e282aa5e84e4138f55b09f82aad5.jpeg 414w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-62244\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nephydrat\u2122, an extract from the spiny fruit peel, reinforces the skin\u2019s capacity for water retention and helps to hydrate the skin \u2013 a noticeable effect proven in tests with volunteers.

It increases hair follicle vitality and reduces sebum oxidation triggered by exposure to pollutants and UV. The seed extract enhances the cornified scalp\u2019s barrier function, contributing to water retention by increasing transglutaminase-1 and loricrin synthesis in keratinocytes. In vivo, the scalp was significantly more hydrated within one month and the hair appeared and felt visibly healthier and shinier.<\/p>\n<h3>100 percent natural-origin and COSMOS-approved extracts<\/h3>\n<p>All three bioactives are preservative-free, 100 percent of natural origin, and COSMOS-approved. They are obtained through a unique extraction and purification process, yielding a product with standardized active matter content. For the seed and leaf extracts, the combination of maltodextrin and spray drying allows to obtain concentrated extracts with a recommended dose of use of only 0.1 percent. The recommended dosage of the liquid peel extract is 2 percent.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>About the Care Chemicals division at BASF<\/h3>\n<p>The BASF division Care Chemicals offers a broad range of ingredients for personal care, home care, industrial &amp; institutional cleaning, and technical applications.
